[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom of a DD who will be heading to MS in a year this is all terrifying. MS sucked for me.  Knowing all this, how do MS counselors and teachers deal with it? Or is it just ignored?[/quote]

What are the teachers supposed to do?  In middle school?  They aren't babysitters?  We went through this early and often - and frankly, it helped my girls deal with matters on their own.  And they did! [/quote]

My kids' school deals with it.  It's private so there is more leeway to deal with social-emotional issues.  They've had a curriculum about it since K, dealing with age-appropriate social issues, and bullying and cliques have been discussed since they were quite young.  Does it stave off all the bullying and meanness?  No, I'm sure there's still some.  But probably less if it went completely unaddressed.  [/quote]

If you are referencing an anti bullying program in elementary, be warned that all the lessons fly out the window in middle. [/quote]
